Creighton vs Iowa College Basketball Preview
Creighton Basketball
Creighton was in a tough spot heading to Kansas State in its last game, and the Bluejays allowed 89 points to the Wildcats. Now they head to Iowa to face a team that's scored 76 or more in all three games so far this season.
I pegged BJ Davis as the difference maker for this team, but he hadn’t had a good offensive game until the Kansas State defeat. That may be good news for the Bluejays, as I think that might help take pressure off Will Enis moving forward.
This will be their second straight game on the road, and I expect them to be a little more ready for this matchup.
Iowa Basketball
Iowa is in a similar position to Creighton. The Hawkeyes won their first two games, and then fell against their first true test of the season. They have yet to play a game on the road, and that will be the case again as they play host.
Ben McCollum has prioritized offense for this Iowa bunch, as the Hawkeyes are 19th in effective field goal percentage to start the season and are also playing at the 342nd-slowest pace overall.
They take a lot of mid-range shots and rarely get to the free-throw line, which is something that Creighton also does.
Creighton vs Iowa Pick, Betting Analysis
I faded Creighton in its last game, and I’m going to do so again.
These teams are very similar in how they approach the game, but early indications suggest Iowa can shoot the ball at a much higher clip and create more. The Hawkeyes also do a better job at rebounding and creating second chances.
Iowa has had the benefit of not playing a true road game, so the Hawkeyes are comfortable on their home court to start the season.
I'm going to try to shop for the cheapest line I can get, but I'm comfortable betting Iowa to win by more than three points.
Pick: Iowa -3.5 (Play to -4)
